 This past August marked five years since the Łutsël K’é Dene First Nation signed establishment agreements with the Government of Canada and the Government of the Northwest Territories to designate parts of the Thaıdene Nëné Indigenous Protected Area a national park reserve, territorial protected area, and wildlife conservation area.
These agreements were historic, the first of their kind in the country. The governance of the Thaıdene Nëné Indigenous Protected Area has been equally ground-breaking. Indigenous and Crown governments are working together to ensure that the ecological integrity of Thaıdene Nëné and the Dënesųłıné way of life are protected forever. While there is still much work to be done, we’ve already accomplished so much. Read our October newsletter to learn about what else we were up to this summer and fall activities, including the Retracing Our Roots Youth Canoe Trip, an ecological monitoring and knowledge sharing camp at Ɂedacho Tł’ázı̨ (Timber Bay) on Ɂedacho Tué (Artillery Lake), and the Indigenous Conservation Forum.
